Dave 'Softy' Mahler and Dick Fain

ESPN released a list of free agents that every team should sign, and for the Seahawks, they've named Ndamukong Suh. Would this be a good fit for Seattle? It's that time of year again for Bill Krueger to get fired up about baseball. We've yet to get his take on the roster overhaul so this seems like as good a time as any, plus his thoughts on Felix this year, the pitch clock, Bryce Harper's contract, the designated hitter in the NL, and more. Textimonials react to the first two hours of the show.

Chuck, who is filling in for Dick today, spent all of last week with Bucky Jacobsen in Peoria. It's the most intriguing Spring Training in years with a massive influx of new talent on the roster at the Major League level, and a few young promising prospects. What are is overall takeaways after watching the club in action. On Fun with Audio, Mike Francesa tries to share opinions on the 2019 draft, another unfortunate "bulging disc" on air slip up, Chuck Todd is furious that Bryce Harper isn't coming back to Washington and instead playing for Philly, and Islanders fans "honor" Tavares as he returns for the first time. What exactly happened to the Dawgs last night? Tony Castricone, the voice of the Dawgs, the Mouth of Montlake, discusses what went wrong, and if it's a sign of things to come.

Dick Fain continues his vacation, and today, Softy is joined by Hugh Millen. After all these years, Softy has never asked Hugh about his Combine experience. It's story time. Obviously the Combine is getting underway and Kyler Murray, being watched by everyone, measured slightly taller than expected. Is this going to be enough for the Cardinals to take him number one? How does he compare to Russell Wilson? Softy wonders why they don't measure guys from the eyes down anyway, because really what matters is guys' eyes being high enough to see. Hugh and Softy haven't had a chance to react to the idea of Russell Wilson playing in New York because Ciara wants to be there. It goes about as you'd expect.

It's been a day now since we found out that Mike Hopkins was left off the list of 15 finalists for Coach of the Year. Mike DeCourcy joins us every Thursday at 4 brought to you by Zeeks Pizza. He reacts to the snub, and more. Washington has come a long way in both football and basketball over the last couple of years, but specifically in football, the school hasn't yet reached the top echelon with Alabama, Ohio State, etc. What does Washington need to do to reach the next level? It's a special edition of Textimonials with all questions being for Hugh Millen. A bet from over a decade ago resurfaces.

As an employee of KJR, a scout for the NFL, an employee of the AAF, and an all-around fan of football, it's no surprise that Tony Softli is at The Combine in Indy this week. With Kyler Murray measuring a little taller than some expected, are some of the concerns about him diminished at this point, and will the Cardinals take him as the first pick in the draft? Hugh reminds Softy that he's owed $1,000 from a bet they made over a decade ago, so Softy reminds Hugh that he'd eat a microphone if Russell Wilson ever amounted to anything. How exactly does one safely eat a microphone? It's obvious that the best way for the Dawgs to garner more respect around the country in both football in basketball is for the conference to do better, but things clearly aren't going well. What does the Pac-12 need to do to turn things around? Donald Watts is in basketball heaven with so much high school and college action to watch right now. We get his impressions from the players in the Hardwood Classic, plus his thoughts on the Dawgs this weekend. Is there any chance of a Cal upset?

Softy's back from Maui, but now Dick is there. We've got some guests lined up later this week and next to co-host, but for today, Softy flies solo. If it wasn't clear already, after hearing from John Schneider at The Combine today it's obvious Earl won't be back. Richard Sherman seems to be suggesting that he might be interested in playing for the Niners. San Francisco does seem to enjoy taking the Seahawks' leftovers. With Sherm gone, Earl now gone, and Kam done, the LOB is over, and regardless of how they all left, they'll all probably be around once their respective careers end, but who is the most beloved of the three? The fifteen finalists for the Coach of the Year in college basketball were announced today and Mike Hopkins somehow didn't make the list. Aaron Torres, writer with Fox Sports joins the show ot discuss the list, the Pac-12, and everything college basketball. Early results from the Legion of Boom poll are in, and Kam is the overwhelming favorite, somewhat surprisingly.

Early results are in from Softy's Twitter poll on the most beloved Legion of Boom member, and Kam Chancellor is blowing Sherman and ET away with 82 percent of the vote, but why? One would have expected his holdout to seriously impact the level of love fans have for him. We take your calls, letting you explain why Kam is so beloved. Petros survives food poisoning to join the show, discussing the continued Pac-12 woes, Robert Kraft, frustrations around LeBron, and more. Textimonials continue the conversation about Kam and the beloved LOB.

The Combine is about to get underway in Indianapolis, and GM's, scouts, and NFL reporters have all converged in one location. The News Tribune's Gregg Bell is one of those reporters who finds himself in Indy this week. He talks about what he's learned from hearing John Schneider speak earlier today. Speaking of Schneider speaking, we roll back the audio of his press conference earlier today, plus a few tidbits from other GM's around the NFL. Q13's Aaron Levine had a chance to actually sit down one-on-one with John Schneider, and he shares his takeaways from the interview.

A photo surfaced on Twitter apparently showing Earl Thomas' kid wearing what appears to be Cowboys apparel. The insinuation is that ET wants to play for Dallas. Well of course he does, what else is new? Regardless of where he goes, it's apparent he won't be back here, so now that he's certainly gone, how will you remember Earl? The Dawgs are on the road this week with a chance to clinch the Pac-12. Mike Hopkins checks in to update us on the team before the game in Berkeley. Will clinching the conference change how the team operates over the next few games assuming they win on Thursday? Nobody cuts down the nets when they win on the road, but should it be okay as long as it is done tastefully? Shouldn't winning the regular season be more important that running the table in the conference tournament? Being the most successful team over nine weeks is more impressive than being the most successful in four days.

Even more details have emerged in the Robert Kraft prostitution case. Apparently he visited the massage parlor twice on the weekend of the AFC Championship, including once the morning of he game. So much has been happening in the Pac-12 that we've decided to have Jon Wilner on once a week to fill us in. Could an alliance between the Pac-12 and Big 12, specifically relating to football schedules be on the horizon? How likely are we to see outside investors buy into the Pac-12 Network? On Textimonials, how we'll remember Earl Thomas, and Robert Kraft one-liners.
